90: Chapter 90 A Slap in the Face

The usually cold and composed Chu Qingxue now had a fierce chill in her icy blue eyes. The air temperature around her suddenly dropped to dozens of degrees below zero, and layers of fine frost spread wildly across the carpet from the hem of her skirt.

“Such filthy creatures that only know how to bark are not qualified to breathe the air of this wasteland at all.” Chu Qingxue's voice was as bone-chilling as ten-thousand-year-old mysterious ice. “Master, Qingxue requests to immediately lift the power limit of Extreme Cold Frost. I want to freeze the entire surface of that metal vine. I want to see if his scrap metal can still hold onto a smooth icy surface.”

Ye Qingyu was even more furious, stomping her feet. As a top-tier Mechanic who viewed mechanical engineering as her faith, what she could least tolerate was others using such primitive and backward junk technology to mock their invincible battleship!

“Does that blonde idiot have water in his brain?!”

Ye Qingyu pointed at the screen and shouted in exasperation, “The transmission efficiency of his four mechanical spider legs is less than thirty percent! Every time he moves, he has to waste a massive amount of kinetic energy just to overcome gravity and do work!”

“This prehistoric garbage structure, which isn't even as good as a tractor from the old era—he actually has the nerve to show it off like some treasure? This is simply the ultimate insult to the great science of Mechanics!”

Even Liu Ruyan, who was usually the gentlest and best at pleasing Su Chen, now had a face full of grim coldness.

The Silver-grade Willow-leaf Blade she used for surgery was flipping rapidly between her fingertips like a butterfly. She seemed to be contemplating which angle to cut William's artery from to make him feel the most pain.

Every Valkyrie inside the carriage had fallen into a state of violent protective frenzy.

As long as Su Chen gave the order, they would absolutely tear those people outside who mocked them into pieces like a pack of enraged lionesses.

However.

Facing this scene of public indignation, Su Chen, sitting in the captain's chair, did not show even a hint of anger or fluctuation on his face.

He just quietly listened to those stupid taunts on the channel, his deep eyes as calm as a pool of stagnant water. It was an absolute indifference, as if even sparing a glance at a stray dog on the side of the road was a waste of time.

“Everyone, be quiet.”

Su Chen's magnetic voice, which carried a domineering will that brooked no disobedience, rang out faintly in the carriage.

Although the voice wasn't loud, it was like a divine oracle, instantly causing all the girls on the verge of going berserk to stop their movements and stand back in their original positions obediently.

Su Chen slowly stood up from his chair and walked with unhurried steps, one by one, to the huge panoramic explosion-proof glass.

He didn't even have the interest to open the communication channel to trade insults with that William.

In Su Chen's dictionary, he always believed in one absolute truth: a lion will never turn back to argue just because it hears the barking of a few wild dogs.

Against such ignorant and arrogant ants, any verbal counterattack would be a lowering of his own class.

A true counterattack never requires hysterical roaring.

It only needs the most pure and intuitive technological gap to crush them, enough to thoroughly trample their pathetic self-esteem into the mud and make them question their lives in endless despair and fear!

Su Chen raised his large, well-defined hand, and his long index finger slowly extended, hovering over the crimson button on the console that was specially protected by a transparent explosion-proof cover.

In this invincible silence, the corner of his mouth finally hooked into a wickedly charming smile that was arrogant to the extreme, enough to make heaven and earth lose their color.

“Want to see me grow wings and fly up?”

Su Chen murmured softly, his voice carrying a violence and madness that would make one's soul tremble.

“Then today, I'll show some mercy and let you white pigs see for yourselves.”

“What it means... to truly rise from the ground!!!”

As that final word 'rise' exploded in the main control room like a thunderclap.

Without the slightest hesitation, and with a decisive force that could crush anything in its path, Su Chen's finger slammed down on that red physical override button!

“Ling Yi!”

“Deactivate all optical camouflage!”

“Cut off all backup power for the train's life support and weapon systems!”

“Pour two hundred percent of the energy into the levitation chassis module for me!”

“Overclock the anti-gravity engine to maximum output—Vertical Climb Mode!!!”

Su Chen's roar was like a mad dragon's howl, shaking the air inside the carriage until visible ripples were produced.

“Master control highest command received! Camouflage program forcibly shut down! All safety protocols deactivated!”

Ling Yi's synthesized electronic voice actually broke through its programmed limits at this moment, carrying a blood-boiling, frenzied screech!

“Anti-gravity Plasma Engine overclocking startup complete!”

“Target: Ninety degrees vertical to the sky!”

“Launch!!!”

Zero-point-zero-one seconds after Ling Yi's cold announcement fell!

Outside.

The 'shabby black train' that was originally hovering at the bottom of the metal vine, being mocked at will by William and the global elites, saw its optical camouflage peel away and dissipate like shattered glass.

In its place was a steel dragon dozens of meters long, its entire body covered in Gale-Resisting Dark Gold Armor, exuding the suffocating beauty of ultimate warfare!

But what made everyone's hearts turn cold with terror wasn't the abyss roarer's ferocious and terrifying appearance.

It was the crazy action this behemoth weighing thousands of tons took in the next second, completely defying all physical laws of this planet!

“BOOM——!!!”

A terrifying sonic boom from the engine, which simply could not be described in words as if it were about to tear the world apart, exploded without warning at the base of the metal vine!

Beneath the abyss roarer's mirror-smooth dark gold chassis, from those rows of exaggeratedly shaped engine nozzles, thick streams of deep blue anti-gravity high-energy plasma flames, as wide as water buckets, suddenly erupted!

Under the push of this terrifying repulsive force, which was enough to instantly melt rocks within a hundred meters into glass.

The abyss roarer's long and massive front end suddenly tilted upward!

Amidst the tooth-gritting sound of twisting armored metal, the entire train directly pulled a ninety-degree turn in mid-air, presenting an abnormal posture that absolutely defied gravity, with its front pointing straight at the sky and its rear perpendicular to the ground!

“What... what the hell is this?!”

William, who had been holding a wine glass and boasting in the command cabin, saw his ridicule freeze instantly when he saw the burst of deep blue plasma flames below. It was replaced by an extreme horror, as if he had seen a ghost.

His legs even went weak, causing the wine glass in his hand to slip and shatter on the ground with a 'clatter,' splashing crimson liquid all over his pant leg.

Before William's pathetic brain could process the scene before him that defied common sense.

Su Chen's invincible battleship had already moved!

“BANG!”

A massive white sonic boom cloud in a perfect umbrella shape exploded and formed in front of the abyss roarer's dark gold front end!

No heavy mechanical arms for climbing! No ugly titanium alloy grappling hooks! And no need to crawl along the vine like a turtle!

This Land-and-Air Armed Levitation Train, equipped with a golden grade unique module, directly ignored the gravity that was strong enough to crush an ordinary vehicle into a flat pancake.

It was like an interstellar launch rocket that had ignited all its fuel tanks.

Trailing a hundreds-of-meters-long, dazzling deep blue tail flame.

With an invincible and arrogant posture that crushed everything in its path, it shot straight up toward the stratosphere ten thousand meters high, hugging the edge of that giant metal vine!!!

“RUMBLE——!”

The violent anti-gravity wake stirred up by the supersonic vertical climb was like a level-twelve destructive hurricane, wildly sweeping through the entire airspace!

The moment the abyss roarer turned into a streak of dark gold lightning and whistled past William's super-heavy tracked train, which was struggling to climb in mid-air, at a terrifying speed that broke the sound barrier!

The two trains, representing different dimensions of technology, completed the most direct and brutal confrontation of their lives.

William's proud land fortress, which claimed to weigh thousands of tons.

Under the impact of the terrifying plasma wake from Su Chen's train, it was like a fragile leaf fluttering in a gale!

“Creeak... creeak creeak!!!”

Hair-raising sounds of metal snapping erupted from the four titanium alloy grappling hooks that were death-gripping the vine.

Those mechanical spider legs that William cherished like treasures saw their hydraulic pipes burst under the terrifying air pressure, spraying out large amounts of high-temperature engine oil!

The entire Stars and Stripes Train began to shake so violently in mid-air that it nearly disintegrated. The carriages collided with the vine, creating large sparks of blinding fire, threatening to detach completely and fall into the bottomless abyss at any moment!

“Aaaaaah! No! My God! My grappling hooks are going to break! Stabilize! Quickly stabilize the power output for me!”

In the command cabin, William screamed shrilly like a stray dog whose tail had been stepped on.

He held onto the fixed alloy pillar for dear life, his whole body tossed around until he was disoriented. The cigar smoke he had just inhaled into his lungs was all choked out, and he coughed until snot and tears covered his face, losing all the nobility and arrogance of a white elite from before.

His bloodshot blue eyes stared fixedly at the dark gold tail flame outside the window, which had already rushed into the high sky and was now only a blue dot of light.

His worldview was, at this moment, completely and unreservedly shattered into dust!

The top-tier climbing technology he had exhausted the resources of an entire region and sacrificed countless lives to obtain.

In front of that Huaxia youth, not only did it become trash that the other party didn't even bother to look at, but even the gust of wind the other party created just by starting up and passing by almost blew his invincible war chariot to destruction?!

Is this what a fucking technological gap is?! Is this what a fucking dimensional strike is?!
